10 Criminally hot heroes

10 Criminally hot romance heroes
In real life, we're going to go out on a limb and say that your ideal man probably isn't a hitman, a gang member, a crime boss, or a thug serving a dime for manslaughter. (And if he is, hey, we don't judge. Go ahead. Do your thing.) But there's something to be said for criminally hot heroes in romance novels. Maybe it's the lure of the forbidden. Maybe there's something about the sly smile and dark, sexy confidence of a bad boy that women just can't help but love. Whatever the allure, let's face it: there's no shortage of hot criminal heroes in romance land. So without further ado, here are our picks for the cream of the crop:

(Note: There's a mix of dark and lighter reads on this list. Pay attention to the author's warnings about triggers if you don't like surprises!) ​

Blurb (from Amazon.com):
Ivan thought the world was through giving him second chances. Who'd want a rough ex-con with a savior complex and a bad habit of bringing home helpless strays? Everyone in Blackwood, Virginia knew he wasn't good enough for the fine things in life; they knew he was too damaged to save. He just needed to keep his head down, work himself to the bone, and pretend he was content with the lot he was given.

Until she came into his life. Until she changed everything.
Until he realized he would do anything, fight anyone, tear the world apart if it meant saving her.

In an attempt to protect her, her father chose Connor to be her husband, but that was a mistake. Connor was supposed to love her, be her rock--but some rocks need to be tossed as far away as possible. She only has one source of happiness now, her son, and if Connor doesn't get his way, he'll take that joy from her as well.

MMA fighter, Dominic Prince, has only one mission in life: forget his past. Forget the pain, the drama, and the loss of things taken away from him too soon.

But when he discovers a skittish beauty scrounging through the Fireside's trash to feed her dog, Declan offers her a job and a place to rest her head. There's just something about her that awakens his protective side. And soon, not even that mangy mutt can stop Declan from caring for her.

They called him Mack Daddy. No, seriously, his name was Mack. Short for Mackenzie. Thus, the nickname. Perfect, right?

So was he: perfect. The perfect physical male specimen.

At the private school where I taught, Mack Morrison was the only man around in a sea of women.

Everyone wanted a piece of the hot, single father of the sweet little boy.

The 10 Sexiest “fake” boyfriends you’ll ever read about
I don't know about you, but I've always loved the "fake boyfriend" trope in romance novels. There's just something so fabulous about two people who enter into a fake relationship, determined NOT to feel anything real, only to have love jump up and smack them in the face. So for all you folks out there who love this trope as much as I do, here's our picks for the hottest fake boyfriends you'll ever read about, listed in no particular order:

Blurb (from Amazon.com):
Theo MacLeod wasn't supposed to be the one.

Tall, dark and handsome suits me just fine, but the cocky grin, know-it-all attitude, and mammoth ego? No thanks. I only hired him so I wouldn't have to sit at the singles table again. It was just pretend.

He wasn't supposed to kiss me.

My heart wasn't supposed to pound.

We weren't supposed to spend the night together--the hottest night of my life.
One night turns into a snowed-in weekend away, and even the blizzard of the century can't cool the fire between us. I can't get enough--of his smile, of his body, of the way he makes me feel.

The 10 hottest bosses in romance today

The 10 hottest bosses in romance today
I've had lots and lots of jobs in lots of different industries. (I don't play well with others, OK? Don't judge.) But for all my job hopping over the years, I have yet to find a boss who inspires any feelings in me other than disgust and annoyance. I've certainly never encountered any of the sexy hotness that seems to exist in the world of boss/employee romance novels today. But just because hot bosses are about as real as unicorns and yummy doughnuts that aren't high in calories, there's no reason we can't enjoy them in romance novels, right? With that in mind, here are our top picks for the yummiest bosses in the romance genre today:

Top 10 laugh-out-loud paranormal romance reads

3/3/2017

Funny paranormal novels
If you're like me, you love paranormal romance, but often get a little weary of all the gloom and doom. Let's face it. Books about vampires and fae and shape shifters can get a wee bit dark. (Or they can get a wee bit...menage-y, if you get my meaning. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But that's a WHOLE other list). So, if you're looking for a few reads that have plenty of laughs mingled in with all the usual supernatural yummy goodness, here are our picks for the top laugh-until-you-pee-your-pants romances. Don't read them in public, folks. Snort-laughs aren't attractive.  

(And please note: These are all multi-book series, which is basically the literary version of the Holy Grail for all you book lovers out there. You're welcome.)
